Heat Capacity of Gases by A.K.

Coker

The heat capacity of gases is essential for some process engineering design
e.g., for air-cooled heat exchanger and for gas-phase chemical reaction. In the
latter, the heat capacity is required to determine the energy (heat) necessary
to bring the chemical reactants up to reaction temperature. The heat capacity
is also used in the rating of heat exchangers and energy balance computations.
The heat capacity of a mixture of gases may be found from the heat capacities of
the individual components contained in the mixtures.
